Stay on top with PowerTasks for Windows Phone

Stay on top of your deadlines with PowerTasks, a well-received Windows Phone application that has seen a small update for users with Windows Phone 8. If you need help keeping track of your life and haven’t committed to anyone task manager yet, it might be worthwhile to check out PowerTasks.

PowerTasks is a relatively simple and feature-light task manager that has a nice Live Tile and easy set up for entering tasks. While I think the UI as a whole could be improved, I do like the color gradients that indicate the importance of a task (even if it could be more “Metro”). Check out some of the features below:

Tasks highlighted orange n days before a date is due, and red on or after the due date

Sort views by date or priority

Create color coded categories

All-up task view

Category overview page showing ok, almost due, and due task totals in each category

The app can be found in the Marketplace right here for $0.99 or by using the QR code below. If you’re not sure if you want to drop a dollar on the app right away, there is a trial that limits you to 3 categories and 15 task with no ads.

So what app do you use for tasks, the native to-do list in calendar, OneNote or another 3rd party solution? Let us know below.

This is an excellent app, so easy to input and use. However, I only gave 4 stars because the only way that I can input and interface with my task information is the phone. When on my computer, it would be ideal if there was a Web interface. Also, google task integration would be helpful for me, but not necessary. I'm migrating to the Powertask platform for all of my tasks because it seems very effective so far, but I would really like a full-size (PC, web, tablet) interface that could synchronize across multiple devices and the web.
